TABLE OF CONTENTS

## The answer first

Therapy is the second vertical in this series where the incumbents publish their prices, and both deserve credit for it. From their own pages today, **TherapySites runs $69 to $336 a month** plus a $199 one-time design fee, and **Brighter Vision starts at $99 a month** with a $100 setup fee. A comparable site from TechTailors at the Professional plan, about 6 billable pages for a typical practice, is **$450 a month: $8,150 in year one on monthly billing, or $5,875 with annual prepay**, from a published rate card. That is more than the platforms charge, and for some practices they are the better call. The difference you are paying for is the same as in every post in this series. At month 13 you hold every account and a published path to the code, or you hold a subscription.

## What the incumbents charge

| Provider | Monthly | Setup | Notes | Source and date |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [TherapySites](https://www.therapysites.com/pricing) (Internet Brands) | $69 Core, $99 Advantage, $158 Premium, $207 Premium Plus, $266 Elite, $336 Elite Plus | $199 one-time design fee | Unlimited pages; secure email and forms from $15/mo, reputation from $40/mo, Google Ads from $600/mo, all add-ons | Primary: their pricing page, captured 2026-08-28 |
| [Brighter Vision](https://www.brightervision.com/pricing/) | From $99/mo (Start); higher tiers reported at $125 to $349 (third-party figures) | $100 (waived in the current monthly promo) | Flourish tier bundles Hushmail HIPAA forms and email; otherwise HIPAA email from $14.99/mo; annual cancellation has a $100 fee | Primary: their pricing page for the $99 start and setup fee, captured 2026-08-28; tier figures per [Choosing Therapy’s review](https://www.choosingtherapy.com/brighter-vision-review/) |
| Psychology Today profile | $29.95/mo directory listing | None | Not a website; listed because for some practices it is the honest alternative to one | Their published member rate, stated for context |
| Custom designers | Four-figure projects plus hosting | Project | The bespoke lane for group practices building a brand | No single source; varies by designer |

Across this series, the two therapy platforms publish their prices while the legal and medical incumbents mostly do not. Small practices get clearer treatment here than law firms do. Read the notes column anyway; a $69 site with secure forms, reputation, and Google Ads attached lands well north of the sticker.

Reviewers are blunter about the product than we would be. [Reframe Practice’s guide](https://reframepractice.com/guides/best-website-builders-for-therapists) writes that TherapySites templates look years out of date and that sites end up nearly identical to other practices in your area. [TME Brand Marketing’s review](https://tmebrandmarketing.com/2024/09/19/honest-review-of-website-subscription-services-like-brighter-vision-and-therapysites/) of both platforms describes highly templated results and slow support. At $69 that may be a trade worth making; just know you are making it.

## What TechTailors charges for the same job

A typical practice site runs about 10 pages: home, about and approach, five specialty pages sharing one layout plus their overview page, rates and FAQ, contact. Under [page-type pricing](https://techtailors.agency/pricing/) that is **6 billable pages** at the Professional plan’s $75/page/month: the specialties bill as one page and the overview as one more. That puts the practice one page above the plan’s five-page floor of $375 a month.

| Line item | Monthly billing | Annual prepay (10-for-12) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Build fee (published rate card: 5 pages × $250 + 1 page-type × $750, Blueprint credited in full) | $2,000 | $1,000 (half waived) |
| Security-baseline setup (small band, one-time) | $750 | $375 (half waived) |
| Monthly plan ($450 a month) | $5,400 | $4,500 |
| **Year-one total** | **$8,150** | **$5,875** |

Plus the Cloudflare Business plan the baseline runs on: about $250 a month, roughly $200 on annual billing, billed by Cloudflare to your own account and listed here on purpose.

Why Professional for a therapy practice? Because the sensitive part of your work should never reach your marketing site in the first place, and the plan is that boundary as configuration. Contact forms collect name, contact, and appointment request only, with no symptom checkboxes and no “tell us what brings you in” free-text feeding a generic form store. Anything clinical goes to your EHR portal or a BAA-covered form tool under your own account. Booking and intake pages carry no third-party pixels, and you get a per-page script inventory to show an auditor. Breach readiness puts the 60-day notification clock in the runbook, and an annual review ends in a one-page attestation letter. Instead of a “HIPAA-compliant website” badge, we sell the documented boundary that makes the compliance question moot for the marketing surface. Compute your own numbers in the [calculator](https://techtailors.agency/pricing/calculator/).

## What the premium buys

At $450 a month we cost more than the platforms in this table, and we would rather own that than obscure it: TechTailors is a premium web studio, the deliberate opposite of an agency. The extra money buys a site hand-coded for your practice alone, with a design nobody else in your city is running. That matters in a profession where the site’s whole job is to feel like you before the first phone call. Performance is guaranteed in writing: if a page drops below 96 in any Lighthouse category and we don’t restore it within 48 hours of your report, that page is free that month. The security work is graded A+ by three independent scanners you can [re-run yourself](https://techtailors.agency/security/), and our one public client is a healthcare practice with live scores.

It is fully managed, which for a solo practice means the site stops being a chore. For the life of your monthly plan we handle design, development, hosting, security, and maintenance, with unlimited content edits (fee changes, new specialties, a new headshot, done). Security patches land without a ticket, and technology upgrades are automatic at no extra cost. Every month we run a Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals health audit and email you the scores with a plain-language summary of what we worked on. The [SLAs are published](https://techtailors.agency/policies/support-sla/). We track our own misses and apply most credits without a claim. Every plan carries a 99.9% uptime guarantee with automatic credits, and hosted add-ons stack their own SLAs on top.

And the catalog grows with the practice: blogging on a CMS, e-commerce, digital advertising, CRO and A/B testing, analytics, site search, multi-language, and custom integrations. All of it sits on one published rate card, month-to-month after the first year, so going from solo to group never means shopping for a second vendor.

It also buys a real shot in local search. Every build, on every plan, includes on-page SEO, a managed Google Business Profile, name-address-phone (NAP) citations, LocalBusiness schema, sitemaps, and GEO/AEO work for AI-driven search. The founder who runs TechTailors came up through SEO. “Therapist near me” is a local fight, and a template shared with the practice down the street can’t set you apart. When you outgrow referrals, [SEO add-ons](https://techtailors.agency/services/seo/) scale up; the foundation is in the $450.

And it buys a person. The one who built your site answers your messages on a published clock: 24 hours on Professional, nights and weekends included. Clients text us directly. [Custom integrations](https://techtailors.agency/services/custom-integration/) run $250 one-time each: we wire in your scheduler or directory profiles once, instead of you renting connector tools monthly. Annual prepay is two months free and halves the build and setup fees, and the [referral program](https://techtailors.agency/pricing/) earns you up to $10,000 in invoice credit.

The Blueprint is a fixed quote, and its deliverable is yours to keep even if you never sign. The build bills by milestone and is never prepaid. The 30-day guarantee is an exit, not a refund, from the remaining 11 months if the fit is wrong within 30 days of signing. The exit fee is zero, and offboarding is documented before you sign. The code buy-out is open from day one. You can have us build the site and buy out the code at Go Live for the at-signing cap, $13,500 on a site billed at $450 a month. If you stay managed instead, it falls to $8,100 after four anniversaries.

The annual review states, in writing, when you should be paying us less, including when the honest answer is a downgrade. And an eligible small practice may qualify for the federal ADA Section 44 credit of up to $5,000 a year for the accessibility work in every build (IRS Form 8826). The [calculator](https://techtailors.agency/pricing/calculator/) estimates it, and your accountant confirms it.

## Month 13: what you hold

Month 13 is the first renewal, the moment the difference shows. Every account is yours from day one, and the buy-out is available from Go Live onward.

| At month 13 | TechTailors | Typical therapy-web platform |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Domain and DNS | Your registrar, your Cloudflare zone | Registration often included and vendor-managed; transfer-out policies vary |
| Hosting | Our Cloudflare account, until a buy-out moves the site to yours | The platform |
| Analytics history | Your accounts, exportable free | Platform dashboards |
| Content | Yours, exportable | Pre-written libraries are licensed; your own writing varies |
| The site code | Buy-out any time; the price drops at every anniversary you stay | Platform-resident; no ownership path |
| Cost to leave | Zero exit fee, documented offboarding | Rebuild; monthly terms at least make leaving quick |

## When each option is the right call

**TherapySites at $69** is the honest budget answer, and we mean that without a wink: a solo practice whose leads come from Psychology Today and referrals is probably right to pay $69 there, keep the profile at $29.95, and spend the difference on the practice. **Brighter Vision** fits therapists who want a more designed site with the Hushmail HIPAA pieces bundled at the Flourish tier, and its published pricing and month-to-month terms are fair dealing. **Custom designers** make sense for group practices where brand is the growth strategy.

**TechTailors** is the right call when the practice is becoming a business: multiple clinicians, an insurance and out-of-network mix, and a site that has to rank and convert. That calls for a design that reads as you, a client-data boundary you can show in writing, and infrastructure you own at month 13 instead of rent at month 130.

Quick answers

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does a therapist website cost per month in 2026?

From the vendors' own published pages: TherapySites runs $69 to $336/month plus a $199 one-time design fee, and Brighter Vision starts at $99/month with a $100 setup fee, with higher tiers reported at $125 to $349 by third-party reviews. TechTailors' Professional plan for a typical 6-billable-page practice site is $450 a month, with every number published.

### Is a $69 therapist website good enough?

Often, yes. A solo practice whose referrals come from Psychology Today and word of mouth is probably right to pay $69 at TherapySites, and we say so in this post. Pay more only for what lasts: performance, a documented client-data boundary, and infrastructure you own at month 13.

### Does my therapy practice website need to be HIPAA compliant?

The safer framing: PHI should never touch your marketing website at all. Contact forms should collect name, contact, and appointment request only, with no symptom checkboxes; anything clinical belongs in your EHR portal or a BAA-covered form tool under your own account. TechTailors builds to that boundary and documents it, with no third-party pixels on booking or intake pages.

### Why does TechTailors cost more than TherapySites or Brighter Vision?

Because it is a different product. TechTailors is a premium web studio, the deliberate opposite of an agency: a hand-coded site designed for your practice alone instead of a template reviewers describe as nearly identical across practices, performance guaranteed in writing, security graded A+ by three public scanners, and SEO included with every build under a founder with a deep SEO background. You text the person who built your site. Annual prepay narrows the gap with two months free and half off the build and setup fees.

### What does a therapist own on a website subscription platform?

Typically the domain and their own writing, and not much else: the site lives on the platform and leaving means rebuilding. With TechTailors every account is opened in your name at onboarding, data exports are free, and a published buy-out, open from day one, gives you a perpetual, non-exclusive license to the code at a price that drops at every anniversary you stay.
